GLOVE 1044~2
The invention relates to a giove of the type in
which the glove material for covering the palm o~ the hand
is cut integrally with material for forming stalls ror the
index and small fingers, glove material for cov~ring the
thumb, the second and third fingers and the bac~ Or the
hand being out separately.
The weakest parts Or gloves are in the seams,
which are particularly subject to wear and'tear. This can
be observed from used gloves, which normally show wear at
the seams, or tearing or splitting at thè seams. On the
other hand, it is seldom that the material itself, employed
for making the glove, such as leather, tears or wears
.
through.
Obviously, seams situated in working areas of
the gloves are most subject to wear. Gloves Or known types
all have a seam along at least one side, namely along the
side for covering the outer side of the index finger and~or
- the outer side of the small finger. The sides of the glove,' ~-
20' however, are regions which are subject to strong wear and
tear or scraping against objects. Furthermore, in'gloves
in which the glove material panel for covering the palm is
integral with glove material panèIs for covering the inner
surraces of the fingers, seams joining said panels for
'co~ering the inner surfaces of the fingers to side-panels'
ror covering the sides Or the fingers need to be 'in the
plane of the palm. Such seams invariably come into contact

with an o~j ect to ~e handled and are thus subject to
wear.
A situation similar to above is to be found in
thumb stalls Or many gloves. The working or gripping
surfac~ in most handling operations is between the inner
side o~ the thumb and the index finger or inner side o~ the
hand. Seams æituated in this working surface are
particularly subJect to wear.
It is an object Or the invention to provide a
` glove in which the length o~ seams is reduced to a minimum.
A rurther object is to ensure that seams.are as far-as .
possible moved away rrom areas Or the glove which are
particularly subject to wear, such as the gripping areas.
A rurther and no lesser object is to provide a rorm-fitting
- 15 glove allowing freedom of movement o~ the hand in the
glove.
- In accordance with the invention, there is
provided a hand glove comprising a first panel forming a
covering ~or the palm,.sides and lateral portions of the`

the cover section 14 are separated from the co~ering 10
for the palm by slit 28, which slit resul~ in a margin
being exposed at the base Or the stall for the index
finger. In the finished glo~e, this margin is situated r~
be~ween the stalls for the index and second fingers.
Similarly, ed~es 30 and 32 are brought together by - ~
~.
Polding backwardly out Or the plane of the blank shown
in Figure 1. The co~er section 22 and part o~ the cover
section 20 are separated from the covering 10 for the
palm by slit 34, which ~lit results in a margin being
exposed at the base of the stall for the small finger.
In the finished glove, this margin is situated between
the stalls for the third and small fingers.
An opening 36 for the thumb is provided in
the blank shown in Figure 1. Sections 7? and 76 -
marked in dashed lines will be explained hereinafter
(see the discussion of Figure 3).
.
Referring now to Figure 2 of the drawings, the
blank shown is for forming a stall for the thumb. As
. .
will be apparent, edges 38 and-40 are brought together
by folding backwardly out o~ the plane of the blank.
There is only one longitudinal seam formed by edges 38 ; ~
and 40 to make up the stall for the thumb. This ~ingle a:
seam is arranged on the back-hand side or the outer ~ -
side Or the thumb, 80 that the whole gripping area o~
the thumb is free ~rom seams. Edges 42 and 44 then define
an opening into which a thumb may be inserted.~ The form
and size of thi~ opening correspond to the form and size

of the opening 36 provided for the thumb in the blank
shown in Figure 1.
Referring to Figure 3, showing a blank of a
third panel, cover sections 46 are provided for forming
. : 5 a covering ~or the central area o~ the back of the hand.
Cover sections 48, 50~ 52 and 54 are for forming the-
stall for the third finger. In ~orming the stall ~or
the third finger, edges 56 and 58 are brought together
by ~olding backwardly out of the plane o~ the blank
shown in Figure 3. Similarly, cover sections 60, 62, 64
and 66 are ~or forming the stall for the second finger.
In ~orming the stall for the second finger, edges 68
and 70 are brought together by ~olding backwardly out
of the plane of the blank.
Still referring to Figure.3, panel sections .. .
72 and 74 are provided integrally with the base of .
the stall for the third ~inger formed by cover
sections 48~ 50, 52 and 54. As may be seen ~rom Figure 1,~
. the panel sections 72 and 76 cannot be formed integrally ~-
- 20 with the cover sections 22 and 16, respectively, because ~ . . -
this would result in cut out portions in covering 10.
As will be more readily understood with.reference to - -~-
Figure 4, panel 5ection 72 is providéd for fitting ov~
the canted area of the crotch between the third and
small ~ingers~ and panel section 74 i8 provided ~or
ritting-over one halr o~ the canted area o~ the crotch
bet~reen the second and third fingers. Similarly, panel

o~ the stall for the second finger formed by cover section-~
60, 62, 64 and 66. As will again be more readily
understood with re~erence to Figure 4, panel section 76
is provided for fitting over the canted area of the
crotch between the index and second fin~ers, and panel
section 78 is provided for ritting over the othèr halr of
the canted area oP the crotch between the second and third-
~in~ers. Thus, panel sections 74 and 78 together ~orm a
covering rOr the canted area o~ the crotch between the
second and third fingers.
As will be readily understood with reference to
Figure 3, panel sections 72 and 76 belong striotly speaking
to the cover sections 22 and 16, respeotively, for the sides
of the index finger and the small finger, respectively.
~5 Similarly, there are also panel sections 73~and 77 which
belong to the cover sections 52 and 64~ respectively, for
the sides o~ the third finger and the second finger,~
- respecti~ely. In the blank of the $hird panel shown in
Figure 3, it is readily understood that there is- w m ~or
all these panel sections 72, 76, 73, 77 without the
- necessity o~ a cut out portion in the blank. - .
Preferably in the blank of the third panel shown -~
in Figure 3, the panel seCtions 72, 76, 73, 77 are lntegral
with each other and with the remainder of the panel. They -~ -
~5 may, Or course, also be separated from each other along -
the dashed lines and may be sewn tQgether to form the stalls
ror the respective ~ingers.

inventlon, for the movability of the index finger stall
relative to tne second finger stall, and of the small finger
stall relative to the third finger stall, a fork shaped panel
section 71 and 75 are provided between panel sections 7~ and
73, and between panel sections 76 and 77 respectively. The
movability of the finger stalls is thus improved, in that
more room is left for movement of the fingers at their bases.
The fork shaped panel sections 71 an~ 75 can agaln
be lntegral with panel sections 72 and 73 or 76 and 77,
respectively, or they may ~e separated from said panel sectlons.
In Figure 4, showing a hand glove made up of the
blanks shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, reference numerals are
consistent with reference numerals employed in said Figures
l, 2 and 3.
Referring now to Figure 5 of the drawings, reference
numeral 80 refers to a cover section for covering the palm
side, sides and entire back-hand side of the hand. Cover
sections 8~ and ~4 at the left-hand side of Figure 5 are for
forming the stall for the second ~inger, and the adjoining
~0 cover sections 86, 88 and 9~ are for forming the stall for the
index finger. Similarly, cover sections 9~ and Y4 at the right-
hand side of Figure 5 are for forming the stall for the third
finger, and adjoining cover sections 96, 98 and 100 are for form-
ing the stall for the small finger. In a manner similar
